I would only quote my own technique in turbulence which probably has no particular merit - but..The real aircraft experience - because of the length of the fuselage you go vertical and sideways quite alarmingly! Not comfortable. It is a bit like not being totally in control of an office-block on a roller-coaster!Airspeed trend vector can be alarming but really doesn't help much except to make things look bad - remember it is a 10-second vector and a gust rarely lasts more than a second or so so it is important not to be 'panicked' if you see the trend vector going into the stall area!

1) Fly attitude - try to hold the pitch you want even if the aircraft is pitching up and down in the gusts. Don't worry too much about glideslope - the important thing is the touchdown point. For a very high ROD (say 1200 fpm?) then strongly consider a GA.2) Use a healthy speed increment (up to 20 kts)3) Many pilots like Flap 30 in windy approaches. It helps prevent a float..Just watch the flap protection envelope..4) Don't use autothrottle, apply a datum thrust and try not to change it too much. 5) If you see an unhealthy speed trend that persists then make a sensible thrust change - slamming throttles backwards and forwards may make you feel better bit won't help6) Try to resist overcontrolling in aileron - it is easy to do!7) Don't hold off - floating 10 feet above the runway in a gale with no visible means of support is not a good idea! Better to crunch it in!

If directional control goes wrong then strongly consider a go-around - even after touchdown if the reversers haven't been deployed.

As I say - just my ideas..

Thanks for your informations Peter, I will practice again. Do you use rudder input on the approach ? or just ailerons and elevator ?

On an approach which is not asymmetric, no absolutely not. You should never (in my opinion, which saves arguing about it!) use rudder to change direction on a swept wing aircraft (unless to "kick" off drift at touchdown, of course).

First of all, I would like to thank you again for these great tutorials. We are so lucky here to have somebody sharing his professional experience with us, with such a great pedagogy, kindness, and humour.

I personally watch your videos many times each, take some hand records during watching, and then go for training on my own simulator. The schematics and PSX screenshots you show are wonderfull and I was guessing if it could be easy for you to share them with us. Are they Powerpoint ? I would like to print them to build some personal "type rating courses" on paper, with your pictures and schematics, and my personal notes (for simulation use only of course).

Do you think it could be possible, and easy for you to upload these documents ?

why not just set the video to full screen in 1080 HD and take a screen shot (and then crop the part you need in a picture editor)? It may not be perfectly sharp, but if it's just for "personal notes" ...

It's also tricky to find out what some users don't understand. Actually, the system is trivial. But maybe some former experience from a different simulation is blocking the user's mind making the whole thing now much more complicated than necessary?

I think when a user doesn't understand the usage of the ACP and RCP, the user should explain what effect he expects when a certain switch is moved. What is in his mind? One could write a whole book about ACP and RCP and then check if the user finds an answer on a specfic question. -- Or, vice versa, the user tells exactly what in his mind disagrees with his expectation, and then one could explain the actual problem much better because this way one gets an idea of what "way of thinking" is blocking the user's understanding.

So, in my opinion, a simple "I still don't understand this" cannot be solved by a "Wait, I'll write you a book" :-)
